An arbitration is where both sides state their positions and an arbitrator
(a neutral or disinterested third party) will determine which side prevails
and how much money (in your case) is owed if any. Arbitrations can be
binding or non-binding. In the latter, the arbitrator's decision is a
recommendation. In the former, it is what the parties must do and is often
backed up by being confirmed by a court order.

A google search on the words, "what arbitration" will bring you much more
information.
